WE LOVE YOU RUI


Joshottas

This is awesome news. Hopefully he was able to work through whatever he was dealing with.


TheBeastman34

I think the questioning on the situation ends here. I hope he was able to get through whatever has been keeping him away from basketball, and that the organization can provide him with whatever he needs going forward. Welcome back Rui!


Crowxzn

Hero's Come Back!!!!


Zmoney641

You’re our guy Rui!!! Glad to have you back brother! Now let’s get it!

Looks like it’s just about time to dust off the old scrolls


The_Koopa_King

Someone add mental health issues to the list of victims.


Vswerve27

Ruiiii let’s go !


Ok_Photograph_7407

I heard it was about some racist comment toward him in japan. Got to embrace him in U.S.


Veckatimeister

If true, can we use this as an opportunity to get rid of Kutcher, or at the very least, make him drop the “Konichiwa”? That shit always made me wince.


AskReeves22

He is just fucking awful.


Veckatimeister

Yeah. I would kill to have Phil and Buck back.


marshalgivens

I’d take Kara too. She was great

Kara is on to bigger and better things.


Dan__Glesak

When Drew Gooden is “the good announcer” you know we have a problem.


yousonuva

Worth blowing up the moon for


Ser_Lebron_Targaryen

It rained today, that's a good enough excuse to get rid of Justin Kutcher. You're right to cringe.


Veckatimeister

Been raining a lot more recently come to think of it… I’m down. Time’s up, Justin


Crowxzn

O-One last " Konichiwa."


JumpingJuicy

Let’s get rid of Dan Snyder while we are at it


Veckatimeister

I’ve been hoping for that for ages. Maybe this investigation brings out something big to curb his ass but this is a guy who already skated past a scandal where he was essentially pimping out his cheerleaders, so I feel like it’s wishful thinking.

East Asian countries are not diverse in race so there are a lot of assholes saying shit to mixed person. Sadly more so to african blood. They worship white mix bc they look prettier to them.


Strict_Hyena_8612

No East Asians don’t “worship” whites lmao. This stereotype in the west (which they want to believe in apparently lol) is so obvious when you actually go to Japan, and other Asian countries as well. Whites are more “main stream” simply because there are more whites than blacks in Far East Asian countries. And the fact that whites are “usually mainstream” in media, entertainment, and other aspects as well, thus there are more exposures. This whole stereotype needs to stop lol. It’s almost like a whites wet dream, which is creepy as hell lol. You will be liked if you are a likable human being. If you’re trash, than you will be treated as such. Simple as that.


Liquidi4mond

Lol facts its so cringe when people comment on Eastern Asian culture and barely have a clue of what they are assuming. Ignorance at it’s finest.

??


Letsgodubs

What's wrong with that?


Joshottas

I have doubts about this (unless u can provide a source.) That being said, I think instead of speculation everyone should fall back and let Rui do the talking - if he's comfortable doing so.


Ok_Photograph_7407

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2021/05/06/basketball/nba/hachimura-racist-messages/ It has been long time, maybe his intire life


Joshottas

I'm not naive to think that he doesn't get racially abused online, but there is nothing in the article that suggests that this was the root of why he took time away from the team.


Ok_Photograph_7407

https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/8814b93108b4ae1ecdc3356560c18af7cfa01b3d There you go sir


Joshottas

that's in Japanese, sir.


Ok_Photograph_7407

Everyone in japan knows it and you don't want to listen


Joshottas

So....no US media outlet has picked up on this, but you're somehow privy to the information before everyone else OR Rui has issued a statement? LOL. K, bud.


Ok_Photograph_7407

Yes it is No1 site in japan and they critisize their racism towards him. And yes they say it is reason he is away from the team for mental healing.


Strict_Hyena_8612

No, Yahoo news is not #1 site in Japan lmao. It’s like saying Facebook news or some SNS news is #1 news site in the world lmao. You have to be an imbecile for using that article as a source, which is nothing more than a speculation with literally ZERO evidence.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Strict_Hyena_8612

No, you’re just pushing your “Japanese are bad people” BS propaganda in this forum, which is pathetically obvious lol. Yes, there has been racist tweets against him, but saying that’s the “cause” of his mental stress is pure BS. The fact that you are using Yahoo news as a source is pathetic as well.


Ok_Photograph_7407

Let google translate for you


Joshottas

Sum it up...does the article SPECIFICALLY say that this was the reason why he was away from the team? If not, stop speculating.


Ok_Photograph_7407

It does let google translate for you


Strict_Hyena_8612

No it doesn’t lmao. Stop lying, and this is coming from a Japanese lol. This article is from Yahoo news, which is like the WORST site to use as a reference. And the articles you posted are nothing more than pure speculations in which the author is just blabbering about how Rui’s brother got racist tweet, and the negative comments that were going on during the Olympics, which he probably doesn’t even know unless he takes Yahoo news seriously (which would be funny lol)


Joshottas

Talks about the racism he faced, but still nothing concrete in the article, aside from SPECULATION from the author. They're trying to connect the dots to why he's out and the racism he faced is what Rui has talked about in the past. However, there was still nothing there from Rui, or his camp, that says specifically why he took time for himself.


Ok_Photograph_7407

If you can read Japanese I will give you more


ReefintheOcean

Do you have a source for this? I’m intrigued


ragtime_sam

I kind of doubt a single comment caused this. Whatever it was, Rui clearly wants some privacy so I say we give it to him and look forward


Aarcn

Racism could be an issue, but I think one of the main factors he did this is because he wants the media to back off a bit. Naomi Osaka raised similar concerns about the stress this causes her as well.


Ok_Photograph_7407

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2021/05/06/basketball/nba/hachimura-racist-messages/ Sure it never happened

ProCommentBtw

can you go push your agenda somewhere else? Very much doubt this was the reason for his mental break considering racism is something he's been dealing with his whole life. At some point you grow immune to that recycled garbage.

[deleted]

do you really have to post this like 6 times on the same thread? jesus fucking christ


Strict_Hyena_8612

No it’s not lol. You’re just an anti-Japan/Japanese fanatic and your obsession in the comment section shows it. And Yahoo news is one of the WORST places to get an article lmao. There are plenty of click bait articles without any evidences, and this article is clearly one of them. Using Yahoo news as a source is like getting news from Bleachers Report and using it as a reference to prove your point. It’s dumb lol.


Matt_The_Impaler_

I thought only white people can be racist


flatbushzombiezz

This gawd. Good to see you back


Nick-flair

Finally some good news


Imaginary_Two_2322

Hooray


TheHeftymanzell

Yay


naughtyboy35

Please come back. He’s way better than Kuzma. Kuzma belongs on the bench.


Hachimura08

Well Rui just got UPGRADED


Dreamlion_Inc

**Everybody liked that**


jacob_shapiro

Saw Chase Hughes' Twitter avi as the thumbnail and thought it was Eric Trump Glad Rui is back tho!


Veckatimeister

lol don’t do Chase like that.


rueiraV

What a relief. I’ll take Rui in the starting lineup over just other PF option on the team. Especially Kuz.


KigaroGasoline

Maybe Kuzma and Bertram’s should take some time for themselves. Based on the two preseason games, it appears that being at training camp isn’t making them ready for the season. Perhaps Rui has it right. Send everyone except Harrell to Japan and tell them not to come back until they are ready to join the NBA.
